Get started for freeConsider the isoelectronic ions \(\mathrm{F}^{-}\) and \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\). (a) Which ion is smaller? (b) Using Equation 7.1 and assuming that core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute 0.00 to the screening constant, \(S,\) calculate \(Z_{\text {eff }}\) for the \(2 p\) electrons in both ions. (c) Repeat this calculation using Slater's rules to estimate the screening constant, \(S .(\mathbf{d})\) For isoelectronic ions, how are effective nuclear charge and ionic radius related?
Little is known about the properties of astatine, At, because of its rarity and high radioactivity. Nevertheless, it is possible for us to make many predictions about its properties. (a) Do you expect the element to be a gas, liquid, or solid at room temperature? Explain. (b) Would you expect At to be a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid? Explain. (c) What is the chemical formula of the compound it forms with Na?
Based on their positions in the periodic table, predict which atom of the following pairs will have the smaller first ionization energy: (a) $\mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{Kr} ; \mathbf{( b )} \mathrm{C}, \mathrm{Ca} ;(\mathbf{c}) \mathrm{Li}, \mathrm{Rb} ;\(; (d) \)\mathrm{Pb}, \mathrm{Si} ;$ (e) \(\mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{B}\).
It is possible to define metallic character as we do in this book and base it on the reactivity of the element and the ease with which it loses electrons. Alternatively, one could measure how well electricity is conducted by each of the elements to determine how "metallic" the elements are. On the basis of conductivity, there is not much of a trend in the periodic table: Silver is the most conductive metal, and manganese the least. Look up the first ionization energies of silver and manganese; which of these two elements would you call more metallic based on the way we define it in this book?
(a) What is the general relationship between the size of an atom and its first ionization energy? (b) Which element in the periodic table has the largest ionization energy? Which has the smallest?
